OMG! Mischa Barton opts for ‘A Beautiful Life’ on The CW

I’m excited to report Mischa Barton has bypassed Melrose Place on The CW for another show coming soon to the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

 Mischa, 23, will play Sonya, a veteran supermodel who is determine to stay at the top on A Beautiful Life, which follows a group of young models living in a co-ed residence in New York City.

The one-hour drama pilot set in the world of high fashion is produced by Ashton-Kutcher.

 Mischa is well suited for the role for many reasons with the No. 1 reason being she loves fashion and considers it an important part of her life. Being on the front row of Paris and New York fashion shows seem to be what she enjoys.

And she’s considered a fashion innovator, creating her own line of purses and headbands and having her own unique sense of style.

Mischa also has been featured in numerous magazines over the last few years in the United States and abroad. In February and March together, she’s featured in at least five magazines overseas. And these are big-name magazines too.

Barton also has modeled for companies in the past including Calvin Klein.

Mischa said in a recent interview that she considers herself a actress first and a model second — another reason why the role will be great for her.

It combines two of her loves — acting and modeling.

So, yes, I believe she will bring a lot to the role of Sonya, the model.

The CW still has to decide to pick up the show as it is still a pilot. So let’s hope the pilot rocks!

My worries? If it is picked up, I worry The CW may not promote A Beautiful Life as much as they will promote Melrose Place. Hopefully, they will though.

And maybe with The O.C. fans ready to see her return to the small screen, her star power will help shoot the show to the top.

I’m curious to learn more about A Beautiful Life and find out who else has been cast.

Congratulations Mischa!
